Youth entrepreneurship project continues in three CARICOM Member States

A project directed at providing youngsters with entrepreneurship skills dubbed the Creativity for Employment and Business Opportunity (CEBO) continues to be implemented in CARICOM Member States. The most recent CEBO workshops were held in St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia and Antigua and Barbuda.

The CEBO training forms part of a Regional project developed by the CARICOM Secretariat, to engage, motivate and inspire entrepreneurial interest and action among youth 15 to 29 years old. It emphasises creativity and teamwork and is delivered through hands-on, interactive youth friendly methodologies. Topics such as Youth Entrepreneurship in the Caribbean and Grasping Opportunities under the CSME are covered under the CEBO training.

CEBO was developed by the CARICOM Secretariat with input from Regional stakeholders and is funded by several agencies, development partners and governments including the Government of Spain, the Government of Japan, USAID, and the Government of Italy through the UNDP Youth Innovation Project.
